Wed, 15 Jun 2011 03:53:00 +0000http://illegalcurve.com/?p=28979#comment-6515Have to agree with Mike Galenda on this one. If you’re looking for something newer, yet with the same epic, anthemic flair as so many 80s rock bands had, check out Hysteria by Muse. In fact, most of Muse’s stuff is pretty epic but Hysteria is a standout. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7la0SndoCI Many folks in the younger crowd are pretty familiar with Muse’s stuff. The MN Wild use their song Uprising as an intro song. Also, for a goal song, the “Howlin’ for You” chorus by the Black Keys would go along pretty well too (similar to “Chelsea Dagger” by the Frattelli’s, used by the Blackhawks). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7AP5MAhkoQ

Wed, 15 Jun 2011 00:23:00 +0000http://illegalcurve.com/?p=28979#comment-6510The average age of those who bought season tickets is easily 35+, so I see nothing wrong with going back to the hard rocking 80s and early 90s to get a good intro song. Although, I would also consider other suggestions of Eminem – Lose Yourself, Beastie Boys – Sabotage, Wagner’s – Ride of the Valkyries. Although if push comes to shove, I say anything by ACDC. As far as appeasing younger folks, in 20 years when they’re the majority of season ticket holders, they can have a say.

Tue, 14 Jun 2011 22:38:00 +0000http://illegalcurve.com/?p=28979#comment-6505Too slow for intro but man are the words bang on:

Coming Home by Diddy:
I’m coming home

I’m coming home

Tell the World I’m coming home

Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday

I know my kingdom awaits and they’ve forgiven my mistakes

I’m coming home, I’m coming home

Tell the World that I’m coming

Tue, 14 Jun 2011 22:16:00 +0000http://illegalcurve.com/?p=28979#comment-6504While I really like the BTO suggestion, I would also suggest “Mama said knock you out” by LL Cool J. The first two lines are perfect – “Don’t call it comeback / I’ve been here for years”.

Bawitdaba – Kid Rock

Tue, 14 Jun 2011 20:45:00 +0000http://illegalcurve.com/?p=28979#comment-6488I think we need to be a little more original on the intro song front. Your recommendations above are all played in every arena between plays on every night of the year.
While “Jump” gets my undying vote for sentimental reasons, I like your idea of Rush with some good hard Canadian content. Perhaps we can bring it on home with a local band?

To Drew: Winnnipeg is a city of Classic Rock and Hard Rock lovers. No one is going to be pissed pulling out some classic pump-up music.

But frankly, I’m still a bit of a music snob and my idea of a pump up song is Vancouver’s own 3 Inches of Blood with “Deadly Sinners”. Tough to beat that openning riff!
